The Holidays are upon us, and with it come celebrations, parties and all sorts of seasonal treats. For people with gluten sensitivities, this is not the easiest time of year to navigate. Gluten is a mixture of proteins that occur naturally in wheat, rye, barley and crossbreeds of these grains. In the U.S., 3 million people are estimated to suffer from Celiac Disease, where the body’s natural defenses react to gluten by attacking the lining of the small intestines, which can result in malabsorption and nutrient deficiencies. Up to 1 percent of the U.S. population might be gluten sensitive. The best treatment is to avoid gluten altogether...

This year my almost-three-year-old, Bailey, is very excited for Christmas and for Santa to visit, so I’ve been making a list and checking it twice. Lately I’ve been reading a lot about how important imaginative play is for children, so I’d like to buy her a few things this holiday that will inspire her imagination, which is just starting to really bloom. I’m also trying to find items that are handcrafted, eco-friendly, and safe. If they are locally made or fair trade, even better. Here are a few things I’ve found so far. If you have any gift ideas to share, please leave a comment and let us know! ...

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 70 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep problems, and they stress the importance of healthy and sufficient sleep for our overall health. Public health announcements have cropped up on highway signs warning people of the dangers of drowsy driving. Sleep problems not only lead to increased risk of injury and lost work productivity, but they appear to contribute to chronic conditions like obesity and depression as well. So, how did we get so sleep deprived? It’s an interesting question to ask, especially considering the fact that we are located less than 30 miles from NYC, a city that,...

Amazing!!! I have dry skin overall, but am oily in my T zone sometimes. I have a little eczema on my face and am getting older, so I have those trouble spots - you know what I'm talking about if you're older. I am in love with this product, it's the first time I have found something that actually feels like it deeply and truly revitalizing my skin. It smoothes things out and if I decide not to wear makeup on the weekend and put this on after my shower, my face looks like it's glowing (and stays soft all day). It is seriously refreshing to have found this.I have been using it about 3 times a week and it's a miracle for me this winter. Don't ever get rid of this product, please!!!

I just started using the White Mallow facial cream (baby derma) on my adult skin, and I can't thank you enough for this product. I have sensitive and very dry skin, on top of living in Minnesota which has one of the coldest driest and longest winters in the country. Since using the White Mallow facial cream, my skin has felt soft and moisturized all day, and I only need to apply the cream once a day, which is unheard of for me in the winter; usually I need to re-apply a few times. This is remarkable given that I spend a lot of time in the cold winter windchill, as I bus all over the city every day. All that AND the cream is fragrance free, which is a must with my sensitive skin. My skin also looks so much healthier, and I have fewer blemishes. Prior to this, I had used the same facial lotion for a year, and while it moisturized well, it made my skin look red and very dull for some reason. I wish I had tried this Weleda product much sooner. It's so uplifting to see that my facial skin looks healthy again and that it even can look healthy in the winter even despite the dry weather. I hope Weleda continues this specific product for a LONG time! Thank you!
